The problem
Producer of manufacturing assembly lines faces unprecedented challenges in optimizing design and engineering to meet evolving market needs while ensuring, efficiency and productivity challenges. In particular the project addresses the following needs:Providing a first-time right architecture, by balancing processes, sub-processes, buffers sizes;
• Providing the right mechanical solutions, by predicting critical problems before physical equipment
testing to avoid wrong sizing/speed, force, torque/potential interferences, collisions or defect;
• Guaranteeing performances (rates, availability, quality) complying with customer’s requirements;
• Enabling the re-configuration of the machines to support different scenarios: new product variants,
revamping, technology upgrading, by estimating the impact on the current design.
Objectives
Developing, integrating and demonstrating a novel Simulation Based Digital Twin (SBDT) of a car brake assembly line production system leveraging EnginSoft, Cosberg and MADE competences;
Demonstrating advantages of such Simulation Based Digital Twin approach to new potential customers through the integration with DIGITBrain;
Enhancing Cosberg ability to design customized solution allowing for improved cost efficiency; time consuming, time to market, quality and reliability;
Developing a new Manufacturing As Service (MaaS) business model, based on Simulation Based Digital Twin deployment on the Digital Agora;
Exploit DIH Test Before Invest scenario, facilitating end user market exploitation and replication.
MADE role
Test Before Invest methodology, enhancing test in non competitive scenario, boosted market transfer minimizing innovation risk,
Leveraged its European network of Digital Innovation Hubs and innovation community(Industry, Business Association, Academia)to exploit projects’ output.
Enhanced synergies with EU regional networks, enhancing experiment scale up within cross regional funding opportunities.
Test Before Invest methodology, enhancing test in non competitive scenario, boosted market transfer minimizing innovation risk,
Dissemination activities developed in cooperation with DIGITBrain consortium and selected experiments.
